It was recently reported that conservative former Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian had listed on campaign piece that he had been endorsed by the California Pro-Life Council, when, in fact, he never had the endorsement of that group. I heard from a representative of Kaloogian’s campaign that this was printed in error. In reality, Kaloogian was actually endorsed by Mike Meunsh, Legislative Director for the National Pro-Life Alliance.
Of course, Kaloogian is running with about 500 other Republicans in the primary to see who will replace Duke Cunningham in Congress. Many of the candidates are pro-life — Howard certainly one of them.

It seems most of the candidates are claiming to be conservative Republicans. Most are fiscally conservative but from what I have seen, Morrow and Kaloogian are the only ones who have strong credentials as social and fiscal conservatives.
